The "Select an Action" menu is found on the search results page, on an item's detail display, and in My Lists. Depending on your library's configuration, you will see these options in the "Select an Action" menu:

Place Hold: This option lets you place a hold on selected items (see Placing holds).

Add to My Lists: This option lets you save selected items to a list. If you are not already logged in, items will automatically be sent to a temporary list (for details, see Using My Lists). You can see this temporary list by going to the My Lists page.

If you are logged in, a window will appear and ask you to specify which of your saved lists you want to add the item(s) to. Select the list you want and click Add.

The system will tell you when items were added successfully, and then you can see them when you go to the My Lists page.

Note: The "Add to My Lists" option will not appear when you are on the My Lists page.

Email: This option lets you email item information. A window will appear where you can enter the email address where the item(s) information will be sent. If you want to send the email in plain text format instead of HTML, select the option. Click Send Email when you have finished.

Print: This option lets you print item information. The item(s) information will display on a new page in print format. Use your browser's print option to send the information to a printer.

The following options will also appear in the "Select an Action" menu on the My Lists page:

Delete Selected: This option lets you remove items from a list. A window will appear to confirm that you want to remove the item(s) from your list. Click Delete to remove the item(s) or Cancel to go back.

Move: This option lets you move items from one list to another. A window will appear for you to select which list you want to move the item(s) to. Click Move to move the item(s) or Cancel to go back.

Copy: This option lets you copy items from one list to another. A window will appear for you to select which list you want to copy the item(s) to. Click Copy to move the item(s) or Cancel to go back.
